Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Boy Ranger; or, The Heiress of the Golden Horn" by Oll Coomes is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young protagonist named Rollo, who is known as the Boy Ranger, as he navigates the dangers and complexities of life on the American frontier, where threats from both Native Americans and outlaws loom large. The novel presents a mix of adventure, bravery, and romance as Rollo becomes embroiled in a series of conflicts that test his courage and resolve. At the start of the narrative, Rollo rides across the plains toward Clontarf's Post, where he discovers that a man named Dick Sherwood is facing execution for his crimes. Just as the settlers conduct the hanging, Rollo spots a group of armed Indians preparing to attack the settlement. Unable to stand by, he warns the settlers of impending danger, which leads to a chaotic confrontation with the invading savages. Throughout this opening portion, themes of justice, moral dilemmas, and the fight for survival are established, setting the stage for Rollo's heroic journey as he balances his role as a defender of his community with challenges posed by his adversaries.
